The issue could be related to Chrome itself and not twitter.com per se. Did you try restricting some other site on Chrome like reddit.com or facebook.com, and see if that works?

>> Which flavor of kool-aid do I need to drink before I see Musk as the great savior instead the person I see now?

The things he said about freedom of speech ("free speech absolutism", etc.) made a great impact on people. To be fair, there was also some merit in that narrative as censorship was indeed happening in Twitter 1.0.

It's quite easy for a commoner or pleb to think that Elon Musk is single handedly taking on the "mighty establishment" on behalf of the common people. The "Modern day Robin Hood" is a kool-aide stereotype which isn't easy to shake off and Elon seems to have been successful so far in that narrative pitch.

Unpopular opinion but I think whenever these 'hack' incidents happen, there should be a full disclosure and the company should be made to tell us what exactly was hacked right down to the nuts and blots, sql queries and server processes level.

There should be full transparency on this and all the open source eyeballs should be able to study and scrutinize this. If not, anyone will be able to get away with data theft tomorrow saying, "my server got hacked". What will cause them to not do it except some sense of personal ethics which is rapidly degrading these days?

That's what I'm thinking. In Economics terms, this weird situation is called "bilateral monopoly" where both the buyer and seller have a monopoly of sorts since they're like the only unicorns in town.

Well, a part of Mozilla (the foundation) keeps calling out Apple, Google and other big tech companies for their control, censorship and browser monopolies. However, another part (the corporation) keeps accepting regular pay checks from Google to fund themselves, can't really wrap my head around this "Mozilla Foundation vs Corporation" conundrum!

>> The trick to improving YouTube recommendations is to regularly prune uninteresting videos and channels. Eventually this should start surfacing videos you're more likely to find interesting.

Unfortunately, Capitalism doesn't work like that :-(. Back in the old days, Google searches used to be organic searches in the genuine sense, and that was the best Google we ever had. But today's Google is the Big Tech Capitalist and so will be their algorithms. The organic logic should follow your prunes and show you what you want but the capitalist logic will only show what they're paid to show to you! (i.e. propaganda, politically motivated content, inciting content, etc. etc.).

That's twenty quadrillion for those who are too lazy to count the zeros.

Me on the other hand got interested in F#! How does it pay so much considering it's just another .NET (CLR) language at par with C#? Can I benefit by learning F# as a .NET developer?

Does anyone remembers the good old IRC chat? I think it was a mind-blowing and decentralized option (outside the influence of big tech) to have conversations and debates. Why and when did we bid adieu to IRC and started settling with things like Discord? (which is no doubt good by the looks of it, but still subject to big tech influence)

It's a mind-blowing and efficient IDE. A pity it doesn't support android development though otherwise Intellij would be out of business by now!
